HIN207ACP

Overview

The HIN207ACP is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation, belonging to the ICL207 series. It features two drivers and two receivers for full duplex communication. The device operates from a single +5V supply using external charge pumps to generate ±10V levels. Key electrical parameters include a driver output voltage of ±7V to ±9V and a receiver input threshold of ±1.5V. Data rates reach up to 120 kbps. It supports EIA/TIA-232 standards with short-circuit protection on drivers and receivers.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for external negative voltage supplies
• Provides robust protection against driver and receiver short circuits
• Ensures reliable signal integrity through guaranteed high noise immunity margins

Applications

• Industrial equipment serial communication interfaces
• Computer peripheral connectivity modules
• Test and measurement instrument data links

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Harris Corporation or its successor entities like Intersil or Renesas, noting that corporate acquisitions may affect part sourcing. Confirm the package type matches the specified DIP-16 configuration. Ensure the component meets current RoHS directives if required for the specific assembly process. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring isolated RS-232 signaling without complex power management. It is suitable for applications needing moderate data speeds up to 120 kbps. Consider thermal dissipation requirements in enclosed environments. Verify that the single +5V supply availability aligns with the system power architecture constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the legacy ICL207 family of interface chips. These devices were widely used in early personal computers and industrial controllers. Harris Corporation was a primary producer before subsequent industry consolidations. The part represents a standard solution for legacy serial port implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the MAX207CPE and the ICL207ACPE. These alternatives offer pin-compatible replacements with similar electrical characteristics. Verify that the substitute maintains the same ±10V internal generation capability.
